THE wait is almost over tennis fans as Wimbledon returns in just TWO weeks time - and there is always drama at the All-England Lawn Club.
Courageous Carlos Alcaraz is the reigning champion after defeating Novak Djokovic in an epic five-setter final last year.
And it was a result that saw the Spaniard pick up his first-ever Wimbledon title.
While defeat for Djokovic stopped him from completing a prestigious Calendar Grand Slam having won all of the other three major tournaments in 2023.
It seems as if the Serbian superstar will be forced to wait another year to reclaim the Wimbledon crown having pulled out of his 2024 French Open quarter-final match due to a knee injury.
